Center for Genomics and Society (CGS)

An important aspect of Genomics is the examination of Ethical, Legal and Social implications (ELSI). The goals of CGS are to develop an infrastructure that maximizes collaborative research, to create partnerships with relevant constituencies, to identify critical issues and to collect sufficient pilot data to aid the develepment of a well-integrated center in which state-of-the-art ELSI research can be conducted to inform public policy. More information can be found at the Center for Genomics and Society website.

Bryson Program in Human Genetics

The Bryson Program in Human Genetics was created to increase the presence of clinical genetics throughout UNC clinics and across disciplines. To learn more, visit the Bryson Program webpage.

Center for Integrated Systems Genomics (CISGen)

The Center for Integrated Systems Genomics (CISGen) is part of a network of nine NHGRI-funded Centers of Excellence in Genomic Science, whose mission is to conduct highly innovative research designed to substantially advance genomic approaches to biological problems.&nbsp; The diverse team of inter-disciplinary researchers at UNC are merging mouse genetics, genomics, computer science and bioinformatics to develop the Collaborative Cross (CC) mouse resource at UNC as a systems genomics platform.&nbsp; The biological problems studied in the center are drawn from psychiatry and are potentially relevant to autism, major depression, and antipsychotic treatment of schizophrenia.
